Former Wick High School

We are delighted to present to auction this substantial C-listed (Reference LB51803) former Wick High School situated in a residential area close to Wick town centre. Vacant since 2017, following the opening of the new community campus, the overall accommodation comprises the main two storey C-listed main building, four 1960s teaching blocks of 2-4 storeys and several single storey classrooms. The buildings extend to approximately 11,000 sq. metres, with the overall site approximately 3.7 acres (1.5 hectares). A variety of end use options exist, which may include conversion to residential units, commercial multiple occupancy (CMO), hotel/leisure development, or clearing of the site for new build development. Any development would, of course, be subject to all necessary consents. Wick is increasingly attractive due to a number of new projects in the area, including the National Nuclear Archive Centre and the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm. The competitive Guide Price, allied with the numerous development options, is sure to attract strong demand from a variety of buyer types. Early expression of interest is essential. **NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS – the buildings are currently boarded up for security purposes, so no internal viewings are available **
